Passionate
Outreach
Our "Best Is Yet To
Come" visioning process
has given Gethsemane
even greater enthusiasm
and commitment to
reaching out to others
in our congregation,
community and cosmos in
various ways.
LCMS Support:
Gethsemane is a proud
member of the Lutheran
Church-Missouri Synod
and supports the mission
of our denomination
through regular support
and special appeals.
Seminary Student
Support: Each year
Gethsemane supports
seminarians at both
Concordia Seminary, St.
Louis, Missouri and
Concordia Theological
Seminary, Ft. Wayne,
Indiana. Special gifts
from Gethsemane
encourage and support
these students as they
focus their
energies--and lives--on
full-time ministry in
the LCMS.
St. Paul Lutheran
Mission--Pontiac,
Michigan. In addition to
generous financial
support, Gethsemane
provides other
resources, materials,
supplies and energy to
help this newly-started
mission. Recently
Gethsemane members
assisted in St. Paul's
"Voice of Truth" mission
initiative during July
2008.
LATINO, Detroit.
Gethsemane also is an
active partner with
LATINO, a Lutheran
Ministry to the Hispanic
people of Michigan.
Centered in Detroit's
"Mexican Town",
Gethsemane looks for
even more opportunities
to support
cross-cultural outreach
to the growing
population of Hispanic
immigrants to Michigan.
Specialized Outreach
Ministries such as
Angel Food Ministries,
Ministries to area Adult
Living facilities, and
other special efforts
are just part of the
on-going outreach this
congregation conducts in
obedience to the Great
Commission.
"Go and make disciples
of all nations,
baptizing them in the
name
of the Father and of the
Son and of the Holy
Spirit, and teaching
them to obey everything
I have commanded you.
And surely I
am with you always, to
the very end of the
age."
Jesus In Matthew
28:19-20 (NIV)
